Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the red and yellow bell pepper strips and zucchini, season with 1/4 tsp salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender with a little char at the edges, about 6–7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
